The last king of Uukwambi was [[Iipumbu Ya Tshilongo|Iipumbu yaTshirongo]], who was toppled by the South African authorities in 1932. Nowadays the highest traditional authority in Uukwambi is referred to as ‘head chief’ (‘elenga enene’).
Using the prefix uu- (Bantu noun class 14) to refer to the land belonging to the tribe sets the Kwambis apart from their neighbours the Ndongas and the Ngandjeras, who use the noun class 9 prefix instead (Ondonga and Ongandjera, respectively). This practice is however by no means unique to the Kwambis but is also found in some other parts of Bantu-speaking Africa. Compare for example
The most important town of northern Namibia, [[Oshakati]] ([[Kwambi dialect|Kwambi]]: Otshakati), is located within the traditional borders of Uukwambi.
